 Deleted that last post because I don't want to be petty, or use my following in a detrimental way, I won't sink to their level. Anyways, everything is going amazing and I didn't mean to bum anyone out, I just was embarrassed that NLnet has to deal with this on my behalf. I wish I could make everything better between me and my haters, and I admit I'm not perfect and I'm open to feedback and opinions, it's how we grow, but I will remain focused on my goals. This is #pixelfedSzn 😎

@dansup @pixelfed per-account & instance ranking and build a trust graph and cluster things. Spambots tend to follow spambots, thus they cluster together, normal people tend to follow the same normal people.... this is a method used many times before (pgp web of trust is one example) it does require knowing the full graph for involved accounts, thus that can be harder. I am sure somebody comes up with a trustrank service that can give out a score; then multiple services and if x/y deprio ;)  @dansup @pixelfed i've been very lucky i guess, only saw spam once and it was a mass spam attack that hit eveyone - was over as quickly as it started on #ElmosFolly i was having incessant DM spam for months -- just one more reason i do not miss what its turned into I'm not against adding monetization features in @pixelfed, but only if they work for users and give them 100% of any profit/proceeds. The easiest way for this is to allow and embrace external links to your own store/platform. We don't need crypto or some other form of payment in exchange for impressions because we don't have ads, and we aren't in this for money. A platform for the people, by the people, can thrive this way I think!

@dansup each instance should have the option to allow or disallow this, but the “easiest” option would be to give the user the option to offer subscription levels to their followers and allow them to classify their post to different subscription levels. The hard part would be the integration of payment providers (flexibility) by the end-user themselves Started working on something only to find a performance issue in a @pixelfed background job that warms redis sets with follower ids, those with many followers cause the job to timeout and stuff like this is hard to catch until you reach a certain scale. Love solving these and I can’t stress enough to other fedi devs, there is no such thing as premature optimization when you build something that will integrate with an ecosystem with millions of users. Plan your database schema with this in mind! Pixelfed's official app will target iOS release first Sup will target Android first, with the ability to build your own APK from source (eventually FDroid) I have my reasons, will explain more later, for now those are my two biggest priorities atm (along with Groupies) Between the dozens of franchises of Drag Race and Real Housewives, there is almost always a new episode of something every week. This is too much, I can barely fit in Foundation between my partners reality tv obsession lol

@dansup This looks lovely, but as Android user the Apple-style UI design makes me a bit curious. Will the Android version get more native styling like Material You, or will it just ship with a similar UI with minor modifications? If so, will it be delayed, or on a different update schedule? No rush, or pressure. Just curious as someone who is highly anticipating a fediverse Messenger-style app. Groups, https://pubkit.net, Sup, @pixelfed for iOS, Stories, Beagle, and Live That's my todo list for the next 6 weeks, let's see how well I do 😉

 @dansup @pixelfed How's the cash going? I really think you need to do a kickstarter or something

@dansup please can you prioritise the proper location tagging functionality once the groups get out of the way. There are numerous registered issues on GitHub, one I contributed to is https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3277

@dansup the man was serious about sup, i will just make an acc in there just to see how would that service work LMFAO https://pixelfed.social is on its way to reach 100K users in the next month or two! We'll be joining Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey and micro.blog as projects who reached this milestone ✨ Big/flagship instances allow smaller ones to thrive by providing a home to the less tech friendly 🥰 https://fedidb.org/network?cursor=eyJ1c2VyX2NvdW50IjoxMjAxODAsIl9wb2ludHNUb05leHRJdGVtcyI6dHJ1ZX0

“Hang the DJ” - S04E04 Black Mirror How Hinge's Algorithm Picks Your Dates @dansup All Match Group apps do this. Hinge, match.com, OK Cupid, etc. And it's been known for a while. Dating apps that don't do this, ie: Bumble, are likely not owned by Match Group. I know in the past, with OK Cupid, you had to pay for higher tiers to get access to the "attractive" profiles. When I read about that, I tried it (yeah, spent decent money on it) and bam, suddenly my prospects improved significantly.  I personally don't like dating apps that have this matching thing. I prefer ones where you just see people's profiles around you.  Anyone know why or how Mastodon is generating tags below the images? Are they using object recognition for this?

   @dansup at the moment it displays the tags field from the AP message, but removing the ones already in the post content. |

Everyone has haters, especially if you've done anything to draw notice. It's not a good feeling, but it's a common one.
